Our group of jet skiiers included everyone from parent/child combos to adult couples and even expert jet skiiers. My wife and young daughter went on the banana boat experience since my daughter isn't old enough for jet skiing. They had a blast getting a ton of ocean spray in their face while being towed behind a motor boat (make sure to wear goggles). My son and I shared a jet ski and I was really impressed. They are certainly powerful (we got up to 60 km/hour), but have some impressive built-in safety features. There is an auto-break that applies whenever you approach the jet skiing boundaries or get too close to another jet ski or other boat. As a novice, I really appreciated that feature. The staff was uniformly friendly. The location is nice, located next to a public beach that we relaxed in afterwards, as well as a couple of bars (note you can't drink before jet skiing). There isn't a ton of parking, so factor that in as needed.

My family and I rented a pontoon boat for our family of 8. We filled out the waivers ahead of time…read moreand arrived early to go over any additional paperwork. The people on the dock gave us a very brief overview of the boat and gave us a map to use on the bay. We headed out and within a few minutes of leaving the marina, we noticed something wasn't quite right with the engine. It was making a sound that reminded us of metal clinking together. As we continued on, the motor stalled out and would not start again which brought on some serious panic. We called the number that we used to book the reservation and the woman on the line stated that she didn't handle this sort of thing, which was not helpful in our current situation. We finally realized that the person on the dock wrote his phone number on the back of our map. We called it several times with no answer. This brought on more concern as we were stuck in the channel and had no way to get back to the dock. We finally received a call back 30 minutes later after waving other boats down for assistance. All in all we got back to the dock to switch out boats but the scary part of all of this is the fact that in a true emergency, no one is available and things could have been much worse. This company needs another hotline besides scheduling if any renters need support or assistance.

I feel like a real insider now, because I found the most perfect kayak and sailboat rental place…read more I've been here twice this year I get nothing but great energy from Jen and Mitch; paddling or sailing with them is like being with my own paddle club back on the Ches. I've gotten awesome service from them - whether it's booking a lesson last minute, or asking for a touring yak pre-seasons. Their little shop is adorable and in a perfectly serene location right on the bay. I can't tell you how much this counts for me - city docks and slips are just un-fun and their shop feels like my favorite put-in back home. They are both experienced paddlers and chatting with them is just like chatting with any of the sea kayakers in my paddle club. The Lil-Ass Bay (I'm sorry, I just can't help it) is also a great paddling spot ! With extremely limited boat traffic, and a refuge to it's north, kayaks can relax a bit and focus on observing the wildlife without having to keep their head on a pivot for speeding boaters and fishermen. These same reasons also make it a great place to take sailing lessons and let the wind carry you a bit. I have to admit that I've never actually paid attention to the prices ahead of time. You can tell when you're dealing with Jen, Mitch, or any of their helpers that they are going to be fair and reasonable. So I've always just gone out, come back when I wanted to, and paid and every single time I've been happily surprised at the price. Even the sailing lesson was more affordable than I expected. Paddling here is like paddling with a friend. Will definitely be back on this trip and many future ones. Quite side note about sailing, yes, they do have some rules about sailing as another review posted - not being able to jibe can be a little bit annoying sometimes when you really just want to run or reach down a bit, but it allows them to keep the sailing accessible and affordable to more people, which is important. Can't wait to get back out there again.

As you can see from my prior review in August 2023 I love this place. I love to kayak with my…read morefamily. I was here again with my same family of five including two elementary school children. This time I rented two double kayaks for 1 hour at $30 each or $60 total. I also rented one single kayak for one hour or $20. Our total cost was $80 for two doubles and one single kayak in total. This time we traveled south in the bay since the current was moving North. That made it easier for us to kayak back to the kayak base. We returned within one hour. I also purchased a Coastal Kayak hoodie for $40. We agreed we will return here again.

The quality of service matters a lot to me, and between their top quality service and their prices - one cannot go wrong by choosing Rudy Marine!

First I would like to say that I have rented boats before from other places in the U.S and this was…read morethe first time I had to deal with such a horrible experience. TO begin with it was this past weekend, Memorial Day Weekend, and everyone is out trying to rent boats. It's a fun thing to do with a group of friends and we were very much looking forward to it. We called around to a few boat places and although Delaware Marine Group was not the cheapest, they boasted that their boats were a lot faster then the others around them. Since we wanted to go tubing, we thought this would be our better option. First of all this place is so unorganized. We made a reservation and they completely forgot about us. When we finally got that figured out it took at least 30 minutes for them to bring our boat up to dock. AND THE BOAT THEY BROUGHT WASN'T EVEN OUR BOAT. They accidentally sent our boat out with another party. This created a problem since we were a group of 13 and the boat they wanted to send us out with only carried 12. Well they said it wouldn't be a problem. They took our money, didn't go over any safety rules and didn't have us sign any contract or anything so off we went. We were on the water for about 30 minutes, on a boat called the Hurricane, which was too small and too slow for our party, before the cops pulled us over in the middle of the bay. They did a random inspection of the boat and found that we did not have enough life jackets on the boat, and that our driver didn't have a license (we didn't know we needed to have a license and we were never told this) When we returned to the harbor the owners seemed SHOCKED and acted like they had told us all the rules. We politely argued and the cops fined them for the life jackets and fined us for the license. We asked for a refund but the only refund they wanted to give us was TO USE THE TIME WE STILL HAD LEFT ON THE BOAT AT ANOTHER TIME. We paid 380 for four hours and only used 30 minutes, and it was our last day at the beach. We told them that since we did not sign a contract with them, he could not hold this requirement against us. However he said since we made the reservation it was our RESPONSIBILITY to know what the contract stated- EVEN THOUGH THEY NEVER GAVE US A CONTRACT TO LOOK OVER. After bickering for 15 minutes and getting no where, other then we are going to sue you for legalities that he was gong against, he had one of his staff take us out on the same boat for the remaining time. THe kid that drove us was really nice-however he said that DMG has problems with all of their equipment and will never issue refunds. For example, that day someones jetski died in the middle of the ocean. Thank god that person had their cell phone on them, or else he could have died. He wanted a refund but instead they sat him on another jet ski. This place is all about money and not about customer service, don't be fooled. The owner comes off really nice but he isn't and all their boats and jetskis have problems. They are old and run downed and they are charging way to much. There are cheaper boat rentals in other places, especially Ocean City. They say you get what you pay for but we paid almost 100.00 an hour and got a slow boat ride and ocean police ticket. BEWARE
